The fire, which broke out on the mountain Sukkertoppen at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, approached several houses overnight into Wednesday - which, however, were saved. According to the municipality, developments are going in the right direction, which has meant that preschools and schools that were closed due to the smoke have been able to reopen.
However, the situation remains critical, according to the rescue services. Among other things, the helicopters used in the extinguishing work have not been able to take off due to strong winds.
There will be sun and wind; those are the two worst possible scenarios we can have in an event like this, says Sindre Egeness.
However, on Wednesday morning, it was assessed that there was no risk of spread.
